Monster Hunter Wilds Surpassed 8 Million Units in 3 Days

Monster Hunter Wilds Is Now Capcom’s Fastest Selling Game

Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) has officially become Capcom's fastest-selling game, achieving over 8 million units sold within just three days of its launch. Capcom announced this milestone on their website, highlighting MH Wilds as the quickest title to reach this sales figure in their history.

Reports from SteamDB indicate that MH Wilds has been a massive hit on Steam, reaching over 1.3 million concurrent players despite receiving mixed reviews. Capcom credits this success to their relentless promotional efforts, showcasing the game at global video game events, and offering an open beta test that allowed players to experience the game firsthand.

Latest Update Addressed Game-Breaking Bug

In response to player feedback, MH Wilds has released a crucial update addressing several bugs that were hindering gameplay. Monster Hunter's official support account, Monster Hunter Status, announced on Twitter (X) on March 4, 2025, that the hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00 is now available across all platforms.

This update tackles significant issues such as the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as intended, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a critical bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2, "A World Turned Upside Down," among others. Players are advised to update the game to continue enjoying online play.

However, not all bugs have been resolved yet. Issues such as network errors when firing an SOS flare after starting a quest, and Palico's blunt weapon attacks not causing stun or exhaust damage, remain unaddressed. Capcom plans to tackle these multiplayer-related bugs in an upcoming patch.
